The Biggest Ancient City Ruins in Xinjiang 🇨🇳

#traveldiaries In the middle of the Gobi Desert lies the ancient city if Gaochang. This ancient city has been abandoned for about 1000 years ago but people nowadays can inky watch the remnants of how the city used to look like. It is really massive and I don’t recommend it walking around there , just go with a shuttle bus to take you to different interesting spot inside the city ruins. Tips: 1. Cover up and apply sun cream as there is no shade here at all. You’m surely get sunburnt if you’re not covered up. 2. Do not wander beyond the concrete roads as they are not sure if some areas are hallow underground so just stay on the concrete roads. 3. Bring water- so hot here and there are bo shops around so be sure to pack your self a bottle of water. Ticket price: 40 Length of Visit: 1 hour (since it is a guided trip with the shuttle bus and you’re together with the other tourists so you kind of just follow the majority. If most tourists are done in one area then it is time to head to the next stop. Enjoy 😊 #tripblazers #trip #tripmoments #china #chinatrip #xinjiang #historicallandmarks
